Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn stay in Detroit (and why it matters)

Show notes

How important is it that Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn – Offensive and Defensive coordinators for the Detroit Lions, stay in Detroit?

Plus, Brad Holmes took a bit of a victory lap with his picks from the draft and Fletcher reminds us that save for one, he’s been on board with the Holmes plan most of the way. And we talk a bit about Earl “The Twirl” Cureton and the difference between basketball in the early 80s vs now. 

01:09 – Earl “The Twirl” Cureton passed away unexpectedly at the age of 66. We talk about his impact, and differences in the game of basketball from his playing days until now.

05:12 – Most Lions fans get what they want in keeping Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn on the sidelines of Ford Field another year.

07:39 – We get into the differences between the Pistons and Lions rebuilds
